A quick snapshot for a local reporter who’s come in to do a story
The artist poses with the mural complete…

A week later, time to take Dragon Storm down… Aria Luna spends a moment with her art
And that’s it! What an amazing first exhibit!

THE MAKING OF
Creating the chain of Golden Mountains that will protect Celseous
Mama Celseous’ egg takes shape
Aria Luna reflects on the completed centerpiece of Dragon Storm
Applying gesso before the pastels color in Deloox
Presenting… Deloox!
DeathFreeze slowly takes shape, directly from the little artist’s imagination
Only half done but already spewing sparks
The first strokes of Copper
Time to start coloring him in
Aria Luna uses a range of pastels to shade in the multi-varied hybrid creature
It wouldn’t be Aria Luna if she didn’t sneak in one of her (many) expressions
